Dear Osick,

Chapeau!

[Hachiko]

France, Australia and Canada all win. That's a good day in my book!

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Just a heads up on the Asian Qualifying Draw, those pots aren’t final. FIFA Rankings for Asia are released on Friday. The pots will be based off those rankings.

 

[kella]

Watching Brazil hasn't been fun in 20 years. Jesus their games are a drag.

Only change was Iraq and United Arab Emirates switching spots.

I was going to go into a long diatribe on why Brazil isn’t what it used to be but I think I only need two words.

Blame Dunga.

That said, teams playing not to lose in a tournament where 80% of the teams make it from the group stage is horrible.

FS1 announcer saying Copa America is the "most prestigious tournament on earth" lol

 

[kella]

Almiron surrounded by BUMS at club and country. This guy deserves better.

CONCACAF CUP OF NATIONS -

Final World Cup Quals group for Asia.

Assuming it still works the same, Gotta be the same 5 as last world cup, yeah?

 

[kella]

Is UAE just full of shitty Brazilians?

I’ll make a fearless prediction right now.

Asia only gets 4 and Australia will not be one of those teams. I don’t think they get out of Asia. They seem to be between generations right now.

Iran, South Korea, Japan and Saudi Arabia qualify.

Good Lord you weren't joking lmao

 

[DeadMan]

Jesus, Gabriel

 

[Karl Hungus]

Argentina have been living dangerously this entire match.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Whelp. They'll hang on now.

 

[BearDownUofA]

Jesus, Gabriel

Not quite sure what he was thinking there. That's a straight red even with a legally-blind referee.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Montreal withdraws from hosting the 2026 World Cup. Canada only has two hosts left (Edmonton and Toronto) and they need a third.

This bidding process has been shitshow of 2021 Copa America proportions.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Brazil v Argentina in the Copa America final.

Not sure we had to go through 26 games of mostly mediocre games to get here though.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

4th PK shootout I’ve seen today with Guatemala and Guadeloupe.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Goalie PK’s!

And they both score.

 

[goblue96]

Both goalies make their shots!

 

[goblue96]

0 for 2?!?!?

 

[goblue96]

GUADELOUPE!

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Lol at the PK that lost Guatemala the shootout.

 

[goblue96]

Lol at the PK that lost Guatemala the shootout.

He missed an 8' x 24' target TWICE!

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Still waiting for Brazil’s equalizer…

 

[Yankee151]

Brings a tear to my eye bros @bruin @bruin228

 

[kella]

Did they win the Copa who gives a fuck?

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Did they win the Copa who gives a fuck?

Doesn’t that start tonight?

 

[Hachiko]

Dear Hirving,

When your fans act like the neanderthals they are, you will suffer for it.

Signed,

Haha, this Mexico-Canada game is FUN

 

[Yankee151]

Spain vs. Brazil in the Olympic finals

:gun2head: for the lads in Japan

 

[jamesnathan]

As a homer, I kept my mouth shut and Brazil lost to Argentina. I then kept my mouth shut and didn't express my homerism for Brazil in the Olympics and they won gold.

My theory that my complimenting the teams I like when they are good and being a homer causing my teams to then self-destruct, may have some flaws.

Lived there for two years and learned to appreciate the game while there. Is there a problem?

ESPN+ has UEFA and CAF qualifying
Paramount+ has CONCACAF (except USA home games) and AFC qualifying
CONMEBOL are run by dumbasses

 

[goblue96]

CONCACAF also run by dumbasses.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

CONCACAF also run by dumbasses.

At least Paramount+ has some reach. CONMEBOL sold their rights to fuboTV.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Big upset in Asia:

Japan 0-1 Oman

Cue bad pun contest.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Brazil-Argentina abandoned because health authorities invaded the pitch to get a few Argentina players deported from the country.

Guinea-Morocco abandoned because of a coup attempt in the country.

Do I get my $30 back if I bought the Brazil-Argentina game?

 

[adchester]

This story is hilarious to me. I'm sure the Argentinian team was in Brazil for at least 24 hrs before the match and the feds couldn't confirm their location before they step on the pitch?

Also they just lied to get let in to the country like they aren't world famous athletes that it is public knowledge where they play lol

 

[kella]

These incredibly pro Mexico (but American?) CBS announcers caping for Guardado, who is a pick, completely diving to get that penalty is disgusting.
